This weekend we will see the heart of God behind the third commandment. We were created in the image of God to reflect His glory. Sin tainted our purpose, but in Christ we’re restored.

The Third commandment: Exodus 20:7
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will
not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
·
Only use God’s name when talking to Him or about
Him.
·
“Who could read the third commandment without
remembering to live for God’s glory”?
·
The heart of the third commandment is to elevate
the name and reputation of God.
Matthew 15:8-9 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain
Philippians 1:27 (NLT) Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven,
conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.
·
God’s word is never in vain. His word always
reflect His nature and produce results!
Isaiah 55:10 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to
me empty but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the
thing for which I sent it.
Matthew 15:18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles
a person.
Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of
his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.
Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;
2 Kings 17:15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their
ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless
idols and themselves became worthless. They imitated the nations around them
although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”
2 Corinthians 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God
were making his appeal through us.
2 Corinthians 3:18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see
and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more
and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
